Healthquest

If you are just getting started in a fitness routine, or if you would have better peace of mind in working out in a more private environment, in the presence of our select group of Fitness Specialists, then Healthquest at ACAC is for you.  Healthquest is a corner of our fitness floor, where our specially assigned group of instructors will guide you through a strength training circuit designed specifically for your particular needs and level. As you travel through a circuit, an ACAC Fitness specialist will set the seat and strength adjustment on each machine for you.

HealthQuest is designed to give you a complete weight workout in 15-20 minutes. It is a great way to introduce weight training into your routine.

How do I get started using HealthQuest? 

Make an appointment with an ACAC Fitness Specialist for a HealthQuest orientation. If you are a new member or still have Fitpass coupons available, you may use one of your Fitpass sessions for a HealthQuest orientation.

How does a HealthQuest session work? 
When you are ready to use HealthQuest, simply hand the Fitness Specialist on duty your card. He or she will set the machines and weights for you. Beginning at machine #1, you will move counterclockwise through the circuit to machine #9, performing one set of 10 - 15 repetitions on each machine.

Why do I need to use the machines in order? 
The two circuits in HealthQuest are arranged in a specific order designed to work large muscle groups, then smaller muscle groups. This decreases risk of injury to your muscles. Maintaining this order also helps HealthQuest to run efficiently.

Can I perform multiple sets on the HealthQuest machines? 
If you wish to perform multiple sets, you may go through the circuit more than once.

Can I use HealthQuest when it is not staffed?
Yes. When HealthQuest is not staffed, the machines are open for use in any order.

Our Registered Nursing Team is also located in the Healthquest area of the club, and are available daily during peak club hours.
